Re Manfredi

Re Manfredi was established in 1998 in the heart of Aglianico del Vulture DOC production zone just a few kilometres from Venosa, a little town renowned as the birthplace of the Latin poet, Horace. An elegant and welcoming Masseria stands out in the centre of the property which extends over more than 120 hectares of vineyards trained in the Guyot and spurred cordon style. Beside this farmhouse is the dynamic modern Terri degli Svevi winery run by Andrea Lonardi. The company has a modern Vinification plant and a prestigious barrique cellar in which the wines age.

The entire property enjoys an ideal position at the foot of Mount Vulture and here the vines grow in a very particular microclimate. The vineyards are almost entirely cultivated with the Aglianico vine: 30 ha with twenty year old plants trained in Guyot style and 10 ha of ten year old vines trained in Spurred Cordons at an altitude of 420 m a.s.l. in the Commune of Venosa. In addition to these is a small part of white grapes, such as Muller and Gewürztraminer, in 20 ha of 5-10 year old vineyards trained in the Guyot manner at an altitude of 420 m a.s.l. at Pian di Camera in the Commune of Venosa.

The Serpara vineyard measuring about 6 hectares, three aged over 40 years, extends at 550 m a.s.l. in the Commune of Maschito in Potenza Province. It is here that the selections for the new vines are made and it is from these vines that the Masseria cru that bears its name is produced.

This wine is a intense deep ruby red in colour and has a complex bouquet with dominant notes of bitter cherry, candied fruit, aromatic herbs and distant hints of vanilla and thyme. The flavour has an exceptional, powerful and imperious personality, with warm and elegant undertones of spices and cream.

With this wine, with this label, with the grapes coming from the 1989 vintage, Panizzi is born. This wine is in fact the modern interpretation of an ancient wine full of history. Made with grapes coming from all of the farm’s vineyards (Larniano, Montagnana, Santa Margherita, Lazzeretto), this wine is our most prompt and immediate Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
